This invention provides a film-cooled internal combustion engine in which a film of gas is applied to interior surfaces of the engine to reduce heat transfer to the metal components of the engine from hot combustion gases to cause more work to be extracted from those gases, thereby raising the efficiency of the engine. In one form, this objective is achieved by reducing the temperature of the gas coming in contact with the metal parts during the power stroke of the engine by laying down a thin film of gas between the hot combustion gases and the walls of the engine. This thin film of gas creates an effectively lower film temperature-driven convection heat transfer. This invention reduces heat transfer to walls of the engine, protects hot parts, reduces knock (pre-ignition), and purges fuel from tight spaces in the engine.

A method for removing at least one impurity from coal is described herein. The method includes providing coal comprising a plurality of impurities and contacting the coal with an acid solution in a reaction chamber. At least one of the impurities reacts with the acid solution to produce one or more first products soluble in the acid solution. The method further includes removing at least a portion of the acid solution including at least a portion of the first products from the reaction chamber and adding a nitrate composition to the reaction chamber to form a nitrate solution. At least one of the impurities, at least one of the first products, or combinations thereof react with the nitrate composition to produce one or more second products soluble in the nitrate solution. The method still further includes removing at least a portion of the nitrate solution including at least a portion of the second products from the reaction chamber.

A method for removing at least one impurity from coal is provided. The method comprises providing coal having a plurality of impurities and contacting the coal with a first leaching solution. The first leaching solution reacts with at least one of the impurities to produce one or more first products soluble in the first leaching solution. The method further comprises adding a neutralizing composition to the first leaching solution. The neutralizing composition reacts with the first leaching solution to form a precipitate. The method further comprises separating at least a portion of the first leaching solution from the coal and the precipitate and contacting the coal and the precipitate with a second leaching solution. The second leaching solution reacts with at least one of the impurities and the precipitate to form one or more second products and one or more third products, respectively, the second products and the third products being soluble in the second leaching solution. The method further comprises separating at least a portion of the second leaching solution from the coal.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for capturing CO2 using a solvent are provided. A gas that includes carbon dioxide may be mixed with a solvent that is operable to absorb at least a portion of the carbon dioxide from the gas. The solvent containing the carbon dioxide may be provided to at least one removal system operable to remove at least a portion of the liquid contained in the solvent. The solvent output by the removal system may be stripped to extract at least a portion of the carbon dioxide from the solvent.

A turbine engine component, such as a blade or a vane, is provided by the present invention. The turbine engine component has a pressure side and a suction side. Each of the pressure and suction sides has an external wall and an internal wall. A first set of fluid passageways is located on the pressure side between the external wall and the internal wall. A second set of fluid passageways is located on the suction side between the external wall and the internal wall. Each of the fluid passageways in the first set and in the second set has a wavy configuration. The turbine engine component may also have one or more wavy trailing edge cooling passageways for cooling a trailing edge portion of the component.
